Club Reports: Suite B Lounge, Sky Sixty, Loft55, Native Social Bar, Backroom, Club 23, Vintage Lounge

I didn't realize I had visited so many clubs last night until I saw the photographic proof this morning!  Beginning with Suite B Lounge.
DJ Mark Hunt back in the booth for Progressive House and Breaks.
But just a few people in the club and even fewer on the dance floor.
Blame it on the cold weather outside, I thought.
But that was quickly proved wrong with next stop Sky Sixty, an outdoor rooftop venue.
Spotted: DJ Cliff Tangredi (Roxy Nightclub) getting ready to come on.
Decent crowd on hand considering it's outside!
Dancing to House/Dance and a little bit of Dubstep.
Over to Loft55 to see how they're doing.
DJ Mickey Bono (Beat Thrillerz, Bliss Ultralounge, Vain, RadioDanz) playing House/Dance.
Both bars had quite a few people around them but dancing is impractical here. And with those sofas and table on what would be the dance floor, not only impractical but almost discouraged.
Native Social Bar is the new venue where Mako's used to be.  The name apparently refers to people native to Orlando and Florida.  Old photos around the venue remind one of an Orlando pre-Disney.
DJ Adam Wells (Ember, Dragon Room) in the second floor booth overlooking the main room below.
Big crowd in the place socializing but no one dancing.
Birdcage style lights give the place the old-fashioned vibe they were seeking.
To the rear on the second floor one will find Backroom, a completely separate venue.
The DJ booth is up high as you come in the door; DJ 2-Step spinning Top 40 and Hip Hop.
Really crowded in here.
It has its own bar and VIP booths and they do play EDM in here some nights.
Climb some more stairs and you find the secret way into Club 23.
DJ A-Rock (Rok Room) spinning House music.
Packed in here too with lots of people dancing!
When so many downtown clubs had migrated over to Hip Hop, Club 23 remained true to Electronic Dance Music.
Per my photos, apparently my last stop of the night was Vintage Lounge!
Good to see DJ Dominick Morrison (Mannequins, EPCOT-China NYE, Vixen, Sky Sixty) on the boards again!
This place was jammed too!
The music is Top 40, Dance and a smattering of Hip Hop, mostly with videos.
And on this chilly Orlando night, a good time was had by all!
